Summary of the contracting process

Defra group Commercial procured a services contract for the Environment Agency’s East Anglia Modelling and Data 2026 Package 1. The work covers modelling, mapping, surveys and digitisation for the East Hub, including the Yare Model in Norfolk, the Stour Survey in Suffolk and the Blackwater Survey in Essex. The procurement is classified as design-modelling services and concerns delivery across East Anglia, with the buyer based in Peterborough. The requirement is focused on producing and maintaining technical models and spatial data through survey, digitisation and related analytical services. It is relevant to consultancies and technical service providers working across flood, water, environmental or geographic information projects, particularly those able to combine modelling with field survey and data production.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 7 August 2026. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender period ended at 12:00 on 1 July 2026. The awarded value is £303,311.50. Defra group Commercial awarded the contract to Jeremy Benn Associates Limited, trading as JBA Consulting. The contract period runs from 8 July 2026 to 31 March 2028. The original estimated procurement value was also £303,311.50. This was a single services requirement rather than a multi-lot competition. The award is active, and the contract covers the East Anglia Modelling and Data 2026 Package 1 work for the Environment Agency’s East Hub.

This award demonstrates demand for a combined environmental modelling, mapping, survey and digitisation capability within the Environment Agency’s East Hub. A credible future competitor would need to bring these disciplines together rather than offer only general consultancy or isolated data services. Relevant strengths include developing technical models, planning and carrying out surveys, converting source information into usable digital data, and producing accurate mapping outputs for work in Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex. Experience of comparable water, flood-risk or environmental programmes would help demonstrate delivery credibility. The selective framework call-off route also shows that suppliers need an appropriate framework position and the capacity to manage several related technical workstreams for a public-sector buyer.
